CARROT. 



Ger. Mohren. Fr. Carrotte. 

 One ounce icill soio 150 feet of drill. 



The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in 

 a sandy loam, richly tilled. For early crop sow 

 in spring, as soon as the ground is in good work, 

 ing order; for later crops they may be sown any 

 time until the middle of June. Sow in rows 

 about fifteen inches apart, thinning out to three 

 or four inches between the plants. In field cul» 

 ture, when grown for horses and cattle, the 

 rows should be two feet apart, so that the crop 

 can be worked by the horse cultivator. As Car- 

 rot seed is slow to germinate, all precautions 

 must be taken. It takes from two to three 

 pounds to sow an acre.
